Walnut, Ricotta, and Honey Parfait
Makes 7
I don't keep too many sweet things in the house unless I'm baking or making a dessert. So when the cravings hit I'm hard pressed to find something that'll satisfy my sweet tooth. However today I decided to get a bit creative. I had all these leftover things from previous recipes and I hate food waste with a burning passion so I started putting things together in the hopes they would taste good. I've heard of ricotta and honey being a very classic middle-eastern pairing so I thought i'd go for it. I grabbed my whipped ricotta out the fridge (the stuff I used for my smashed potatoes) and chucked it on some of my biscuit base from my lemon cheesecake. The end result of this was more delicious than I could've hoped for. Seriously, just give it a go once, I promise you won't be disappointed!!
PRO TIPS
I don't even know if I have many pro tips for this because it's so simple. BUT you could be a little fancier, toss the walnuts in a pan with some butter and honey to caramelise them instead of just drizzling the honey on top.
You could use cashews or pecans instead of you aren't a walnut-ty person.
Recipe
Ingredients
12 digestive biscuits
1/3 cup of melted butter
1.5 cups of walnuts
250 grams of ricotta
3 tablespoons of honey
Method
Crush your digestive biscuits (or chuck them in a food processor). Mix in your melted butter.
In 6-7 small ramekins press down 2 tablespoons of the biscuit and butter mixture into each ramekin and then place in the fridge until cooled down.
Whip your ricotta with an electric beater for 30 seconds - 1 minute. Spoon 4 tablespoons of ricotta into each ramekin.
Break up your walnuts and sprinkle them evenly across all of the parfaits.
Drizzle a generous amount of honey evenly across the parfaits. Serve cold and ENjoYjoyJOYY!
